Michael Jackson Sets American Music Awards Record

Michael Jackson set a record at the American Music Awards at Los Angeles' Nokia Theater Sunday night with his second win of the evening. The late singer scooped up Favorite Male Artist in the Pop/Rock category, which brings his total number of AMAs to 23, the most by any single artist.

Melissa Etheridge presented the award and Jackson's brother Jermaine accepted the award for the second time in the evening, spending longer on the stage this time to thank his family and his brother's fans.

Jackson's first win of the evening was for Favorite Male Artist in the Soul/R&B category, where he beat out Maxwell and Jamie Foxx. The award was presented by Disney TV star and singer Selena Gomez and Orianthi, the guitarist from Jackson's concert documentary 'This Is It' and a pop singer in her own right.

Jackson is up for a total of five AMAs this year. The three remaining nominations are for Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop/Rock Album for 'Number Ones,' and Favorite Soul/R&B Album, also for 'Number Ones.'

You are so Right, He Deserves them ALL. I hope and Pray that all those Media People that put his name in the mud and tried to destroy him with their lies Realize now How Great he really was and How LOVED not just here but ALL over The World. There will Never be another Michael Jackson. May he rest in Peace. We Love you Michael.

Anyone think he woul have won those awards if he were alive? No I dont think so. So why give them to him when he was dead? The Michael Jackson name was ruined a long time ago. So now the man is dead and he should be awarded? I dont think its right. He is better of being 6 feet under now all the young boys can rest better at night. Love live the King? I say goood night Irene!! The world is a much better and happier place now.
